Bit rough. I’m doing the job of about 3 people this week as colleagues on leave. Lots of questions I don’t know the answer to and trying to catch the important things and let other stuff go. Time-boxing the day as much as possible and trying to draw strict lines between work and home.

Forced myself to leave the office and take a walk for lunch.

Hopefully I can sleep and not worry too much before it’s rinse repeat, tomorrow.

Thank you and Erk!

I wouldn’t consider myself to be an expert, but I have a niche skillset, coupled with knowledge in a specific key industry.

There are probably only a handful of people with this particular combination of skill and sector.

It doesn’t make me especially special, but it is niche enough to make non-compete clauses post-contract, unenforceable.

Other people think I’m an expert but I’ve seen enough to know I’m not.

How do you ‘de-google’ your life? Are you just talking about ceasing Google accounts, services and avoiding the use of Google software, or is it more than that?

Thanks for the horrifying mental image.

Not weighing in on opinions about the fella as I’m British and ‘not my politician’ but, just showed this to my wife who is a specialist in geriatrics for the NHS and she said she’d refer him for a scan querying either a vascular event or vascular dementia.

Oh shit that’s like 3 hobbies in this one thread. I stopped at a (very) decent Lamy 2000 and Iroshizuku inks.

Ok now you have to share. A decent bag at a half kilo?

Erk. I got into this. What’s the tipping point that gets you eyeing oscilloscopes? I’m at the fiddly smd stage.

Amun, am I going nuts or are the words moving around the slab?

I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.
